MANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 256,636, dated April 18, 1882.

Application tiled January 10, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, Ona-IN CLARK BURDIofr,

ot' Bulfalo, in the county of Erie and State of much of the food is wasted in substance,W-hile other portions of it are Vejected from the manger by the motions of the animal.

Theobjeetof the presentinvention is to avoid the waste and bad effects upon the animal incident to too rapid feeding by enabling the ot' the grain-hopper.

grain to be supplied to the manger inaJ regulated quantity, so that the horse can eat uo faster than the rate at which the grain is supplied.

Io this end my invention consists ofthe com- .pan A, the grain-hopper B, and the nozzle O rIhe feed-pan A is, by

preference, made of cast-iron and in a form adapted to be secured in onecornerof the stall in which the animal is kept. It is open at the top, so that the animal can readily insert his mouth into it, and its sides and bottom pre- `with the neck of the feed-spout.

nozzleis screwed downward the space betweenv vent the lateral and downward escape of grain. It is also, by preference, made shallow.

The grain-hopper Bis arranged above the open feed-pan, and is made tapering, so that the grain is converged toward the deliveryspout el, through which the grain passes to thel open feed-pan A beneath. The grain placed in the hopper runs through the spout d and delivers into the feed-pan, whence it is eaten by the animal. animal maybe compelled to eat at a regulated rate the nozzle C of ythe feed-spout d is made adjustablerelatively to the feedan by being connected, by means of a serewe coupling, e, When the its lower end and the bottom ofthe feed-pan is contracted, and when the nozzle is screwed upward this space is enlarged, and as the size of this space determines the rate ot' delivery ofA the grain from the hopper to the o pen feedpan the user has it in his power to regulate the supply to the feed-pan by setting the adjustable nozzle in different positions and to thereby control the rate at which the liorse can feed. Y Moreover, as there is but comparatively llittle grain in the open feed-pan at any time, the animal is not likely to eject it therefrom, and I lind that the grain is eaten much more thoroughly than when placed in mass in an ordinary manger.

The combination, substantially as before set forth, of the open-feed-pan, the grain-hopper, and the adjustable screw-nozzle of said hopper.

In witness whereof I have hereto set my hand this 30th day of December, A. D. 1881.
